On Queer Blitzes:

Some independent points of analysis regarding the Queer Bar night blitz and the FreeDartmouth:

1. It is an insult to people's intelligence to use words like 'Get your Queer On' in alternating caps.

2. The blitz, whether sent by Chi Gam or the CWG, would still be offensive in that gut reaction kind of way.

3. There won't even be good looking people there. It will mostly be a cackle of militant identity-ists projecting images of 'pride.' I would like to think that there exists something more important than sexual oreintation, race, gender, etc. in the world.

4. 'Heterosexist' parties? Come on and get off it. I'm tired of the invisible hegemonic paradigms ubiquitously suppressing all. I believe DMX sums it up with 'I'm about to loose my mind, up in here, up in here.' I'll be having the indignant minorities night at Long Pine sometime soon. Our guest star will be 'Guilty Liberals and their Monochromatic Identities...' The best thing that will ever happen to gays, blacks, women, etc. is when we can honestly say 'Our list of allies grows thin...' *sigh* (And worse of all, though completely unrelated, it's April 4th and its bloody snowing in Hanover. It's been snowing since this month started.

5. Read Sullivan's article "We are all Sodomites Now". It's wonderful.
